Virtual KVM: synergy

So no hardware required. I have a monitor with two inputs for signal (the old-school serial, and a dvi)
So basically I can set up the client on my ubuntu linux, and vista (soon to be xp again) laptop.

With this I'll be able to use the big monitor with either machine and not have to clutter the desktop with the laptop being there.. (just set it off to the side hooked up..)

Synergy KVM

I might even go and get another screen, maybe a bigger one or something..
